Just did this and it worked perfectly! My mixer had been nearly unusable - we had to bang the lid to get it to start. I was about ready to donate it when I found this video. Bought the part from Mr mixer and had it fixed in under 20 minutes. Thank you!!!
Yep, that’s all I had to do as well. Seems to be a common problem that the speed control contact surfaces get dirty. Disassemble, spray slider contact points with contact cleaner and wipe.
My kitchen aid stopped working and I was so panicked. I found your channel suggested on Reddit and I’ve been able to fix my stand mixer myself and save so much money!! Thank you so so much!!
Thank you so much! Found your video after difficult time reaching manufacturer. I typed in the symptoms and your video was the solution. Your service in shipping the part was really fast and efficient. Tonight I changed the part out in about fifteen minutes (following your excellent instructions) and now what might have been a much more expensive repair is complete. My machine is back in great working order. Definitely going to share your website and videos with all the folks I know who have kitchenaid mixers. Thanks again.
Thank you kind sir for this video. I thought I was going to have to send my KitchenAid away for an expensive fix. But no, found this video, ordered the part and within a week it was all fixed. It took me all of ten minutes to replace. Thank you for your speedy free shipping!!♥️
I ordered the board from your web site. The delivery was super fast. I replaced it following your video and It works now!!! Thanks a lot it is very helpful and It was very easy to do. Let’s start cooking something 😊🍰🥞
My wife’s machine would start but would run at full speed. I saw you fooling with the Hall sensor, so I thought, let’s try something. I took it loose at both ends reinstalled it, and Voila, it works now. Thank you so much for helping me out.
@@MrMixer316 Thanks for the tutorial. My machine runs at full speed also so I though it might be the board but checked the comments and found this one. I checked the connection on the Hall sensor and it is secure so I guess I need to order a new one.
Hey! This 70 yr old dyslexic grandma did it! Thanks for the good directions! I accidentally broke a little tab on the black thingy, but it worked holding it down, so I put electricians tape to hold it in place. If it works loose, I will know to check that before I order another whole speed control board.
Thank you I’ll have my husband check this one out for my 6 quart lift bowl. I always had to wiggle it into stir from right out of the box brand new. Guess I should have returned it for another one. Oh also I need to find out how to fix my lift arm from getting stuck on the way down, it’s hard to disengage
Good video. I learned a lot. Thank you for sharing. One question: What is the average cost to replace a speed control and regreasing a mixer if I send it to a shop?
If my 600 mixer surges will replacing the control board fix this issue as this is a fairly expensive board compared to the other model mixers thank you
Mr. Mixer I enjoy watching your video of how to replace the contoller board on the commercial 600 mixer, at which the one that I have is runniung but stops at mid cycle with a load I am not sure if it is the board or something else .😀
One cautionary note regarding the "no power" diagnosis and recommendation to replace the circuit board and speed control assembly, depending on the circumstances that led to that situation: I just received a Professional 600 mixer from someone I don't know who didn't offer much background on its history or the time since it had been used (to be honest, I was told that it needed "a $150 belt replacement". Yeah...). I powered it up, then gave the speed control lever a few runs up and down from 0-10. Zero. Zip. Zilch. As I started my online price shopping for the right Speed Control Board, it occurred to me to first try a simple solution already available from vintage audio equipment - contact cleaner. I used a brand named DeOxit D5, but other commonly-used brands exist, as well. A second or so spraying into the speed control lever slot (no need to even open the housing), a few seconds of waiting, and a few more up-and-down runs on the control lever: voila! The motor was running and the speed control was fine. Others may want to explore this option, particularly if the mixer has been unused for a significant period of time. (Alas, in my case, this did nothing to get the beater moving. Further investigation revealed a gear set that had been savaged - lots of teeth chipped on the accessory drive gear, and >30 degrees of teeth missing on both the bevel gear and worm follower gear. Luckily - surprisingly - the worm gear itself seems fine, as doe the planetary system. Back to online shopping...)
Thank you so much for these incredibly clear instructions! I was able to change the control panel, but the new one I ordered online doesn't have a black knob at the end of the switch. It's functional without it, but not as comfortable switching speeds. Is it possible to take the old one off and move it over (seems like it's on there pretty sollidly)? Or are those sold separately?
Great video! I have the KitchenAid professional five mixer. Had it for a long time time but rarely used it. Went to use it to mash potatoes & it acted like no power. In watching this video it looks like it’s maybe-the problem. Do you sell the boards?
Mr Mixer...So glad to find a KA mixer guru! I have six KA lift bowl mixers, the only one not needing repair is the oldest (40 yrs) still running smooth, strong and quiet! Last week my 2 year old Commercial 8qt KSM8990 “beat” itself off the table and crashed, pulling the cord out of the wall. At least the motor wasnt running! But plugged back in it ran for 15 seconds and stopped. I have had to open it several times to tighten the head wobble, so am familiar with the process. Not sure how to find the problem, but the speed board seems probable. On this mixer it is under the motor assembly and doesnt look like the one in your video. How can I test to see if this is the problem, and is this board available for replacement? Thanks so much for your professional help!
Happy to have you here! It's either the board, or the hall sensor the little flat wire that turns to the back of the motor or possibly if the fan/fan magnet broke it will cause that issue
@@MrMixer316 A small metal piece, 1/4 inch long cylinder, dropped out when I lifted the motor. How do I check for fan magnet, where is it and what does it look like. And is that board available if that is the problem
@@venusmoon4590 the board may be available somewhere however I don't carry it at this time unfortunately. The fan magnet is a little round black peice that sits right behind the fan I believe
thanks for your video. And I did follow and switch my speed circuits board, but my situation wasn't resolved, as the speed was way too fast., like Speed 1 is almost like 5 in the past, and Speed 5 reaches the top speed and no change for speed 6 and up. May I know how to resolve it? thanks!
I've seen many comments on as many videos on a variety of these mixers (including much older ones) and I'm wondering why people are so interested in spending money for these if there seems to be inherent weaknesses in key components, such as the control board. just how reliable are these machines? and why do you think you see so many board failures?
We've had ours for 15 years used weekly in feeding a family of five. That is a lot longer than most other appliances last these days. The mechanical parts are still good so why not fix the one parts that is bad rather than spend several hundred on a new one?
If my mixer runs only when I put it up to the highest speed and does nothing when I put it at the lower speeds (doesnt even hum), do I need to replace the board like in this video?
Hi , thanks for the great video. I have the same mixer (575 watt) with the same control board. Upon mixing a big batch of dough it got hot and smoked, so I shut it down but now it won't come on at all. I was thinking of replacing the control board, but I am wondering whether it could be the motor. Can you give me any advice? Thanks!
It's the thermal fuse if it doesn't run at all. If you can jiggle the speed know and get a little action out of it, then the speed board is at fault. If that makes it respond then follow my instructions in an earlier post about cleaning the contacts with just two fingers. No tools required.
I have a older style Professional 600 mixer, It appears i need a new Hall sensor (i see no longer in stock anywhere).. (Mixer turns on but cant control speed, then shuts itself off). I have plans to replace the whole control board/and power cord just like your tutorial. Interesting thing is if i reverse the wire which attaches the Hall sensor to the control board (2 prongs), the mixer will operate. (the wire with the red stripe on the side). Id appreciate your thoughts on this, and if you'd think this would cause any problems running it like this
Im not sure that may cause some wierd resistance in the board, I have a hall sensor I can send you if you don't want to replace the board and cord! You won't find the cords anywhere either, luckily I have a couple laying around. I would start with just the sensor first, could save you 120$ or so in the long run.
I contacted the manufacturer and their only option was to buy a new mixer or have a guy come out to us to fix it, that is 3 hrs away, and a hefty price for me to pay, so I will instead attempt you option.
I have a Pro Series 6 mixer. The head got really wobbly, so I opened it up to tighten the bolts. I did this once a few months ago, and all was well. I did it again today, and after I was done, it would not turn on. I had forgotten to put in the 2 motor screws, so I did that and it started! I put the top back on and.... Nothing. Everything appears to be connected correctly, I've wiggled and jiggled all connections to no avail. Do you think I need to replace this board? I really don't know what I might have done to cause it to stop working!
Cheers for the reply. There’s no issue changing the speed between 1 to 5 but it remains the same speed for anything after the 5 setting. If I go straight to 8 speed from 0, it starts fast but once I go down in speed it sticks at 5 speed rate.
I had the same problem since early on. The switch doesn't seem to work until you slide it back and forth a few times and then its OK. Next time you come back to the mixer you have to do this all over again.
I have a question sir i hope i will get a reply .. i suddenly plug our kitchen aide pro6 mixer to 220v and the machine itself is 110v i dont know that machine is 110v. In the philippines 220v .. what is most probable damage? Thankyou and godbless
I have a brand new one, but my Mom bought it at an overstock store so I can’t take it back. The switch just slides loosely, you can’t feel the slot for the next gear up. I’ve used it once or twice a week to mix dough for the last month. Is there a spring loose?
Weird, there should be a distinct click for each speed, there isn't a spring but you may have an issue with the speed mechanism. Replacing the board would fix it
I took the switch apart from the cheap plastic plate. Found the even cheaper plastic slide was hooked to the eternal and internal switch by a tiny little (maybe 4mm) wide black plastic piece. That was broke, which is why the external switch slides so freely. It’s not attached to the internal switch anymore. Why anyone make such a vital and much used piece of hardware out of plastic is infuriating.
Hi, in my board the yellow flat circle part between the mottor and line prongs burnt. I want to buy a replacement board from you, but I want to make sure first that whatever caused it to burn in the first place won't do the same with the new board. Any clues?
I am trying to fix my Professional 600 mixer. A technician replaced my switch control board but it doesn't turn on unless I wiggle it back and forth for several minutes. I opened it up and it has an old style board with a regulator. There is one wire that is not connected at all and there are 2 wires with peach colored connectors attached to the motor 1 and motor 2 tabs. Is it possible that they just replaced the motor one and 2 connectors? although it does have the sautered on wire instead of the clip on wire. Help please !
It sounds as if there is definitely still something going on with the board, the older style had thst little resistor on the outside of the board, it sounds like they likely never replaced the board because the new ones shouldn't have that resistor portion, all the wires should be clipped to the board a total of 4 wires and then the flat ribbon wire that connects to the hall sensor. A new cord probably wouldn't hurt either to eliminate the excess wire
Can i ask what is the details of the mov or metal oxide varistor. Because i already burn 2 of it so maybe i can just replace the mov so its more cheaper.. thank you..
To be transparent, I do not have extensive knowledge on the actual board components itself, we repair based on symptoms presented and usually just replace the entire board! I've attempted to repair the board but i can never get it to function properly!
It should, it sounds like the hall sensor failed on it. However sometimes its the motor itself, there is a little magnet on the motor shaft that the hall sensor reads and If that breaks off then it will mimick that same symptom
Hi Mr. Mixer, I got a Stand 7.6L lift bowl commercial KSMC895 the RPM suppose to be 60-280, but i find out the RPM only 40 at gear 1, do you now how to fix it please ?
Hi, your tutorial was great I appreciate it! I did everything you said when replacing the speed control board and my mixer is still not working. I have a Professional 5 plus. I wasn’t the first owner of this machine as I got it (in non-functional condition) off of Facebook Marketplace. What could I do next?
@@MrMixer316 thank you for the response!! No, it doesn’t appear there’s damage to the motor (in my very inexperienced opinion). I’m thinking I either got a faulty replacement chip or it’s the power cord.
@@amandaperry9399 I would test the power cord by plugging it in, turning it on and wiggling the cord all the way up to the base, if it ever kicks on its the cord, if not then it's likely the motor, they rarely go bad but can!
Hi i have the same model. i got this brand new 1.5 years ago. It just stopped in the middle of making a dough. Did you fix your mixer? How do you know if it is motor or control panel failure? Thanks
@@cathyliu7563 you could test it for continuity with a voltage meter, however I'm not an expert in that aspect so I don't know what you'll be expecting but literally 99% of the time it's the speed board or power cord, its rarely the motor
Thanks for posting! Do you know if it's still possible to buy the sensor hall? It seems like it was discontinued from KA a while ago and I'm having difficulty finding it.
Your potentially using too much dough? That's a really strong unit however it should be able to handle about anything, could be an issue with the speed control board!
Thanks for answering my cuestión, is what I want to know, I have had another mixer and I had no problems in fact it is new, but since I use it very little and I no longer have the guarantee, when beating either butter or whip cream, when it becomes harder, it is when it becomes slow and the engine shuts down
Would a US board work on a machine sold in Europe despite the different voltages (sorry if that is a stupid question)? It seems the part is not sold in Europe (at least not to end users), and I wonder if it would work to have the part imported.
Thank you - I will get back to you via the contact on your website once I have confirmed the diagnosis. I am pretty sure that having the part shipped will still be cheaper than a new mixer :-)
I’d love to find a technician that actually identifies the faulty part on the board so that others could forego investing time into watching board swaps (which is fine if your financially fixed like that) but other thrifty individuals like myself would rather spend a buck and opposed to 50 or more of those said bucks...
I was actually able to fix this same issue on mine. Don’t know if this will work for everyone but I removed the circuit board from the black piece and then removed the slider box from the circuit board (be cautious when removing the slider because the slider is spring loaded with two tiny balls on the ends to lock the slider into one of the many speed positions on the box [diamond shapes on either side of this box]. The box is removed by twisting a couple tabs to clear some slots on the circuit board. The slider has two copper tabs that spring to make contact with the contacts in the circuit board. On mine, these seemed less “springy” than I expected so I bent them a little more back so they would spring back harder and ensure contact with the circuit board. Secondly, I used isopropyl alcohol (make sure it’s >90%) and a cotton swab to clean the slider contacts on the circuit board as well as all the other contacts on the circuit board. After assembling everything back together, the stand mixer now works fine. No guarantees but just wanted to share what worked for me
@@MrMixer316 scratch that, the magnet was just pushed to the front and i didnt need to buy the speed controller or sensor, i moved it back and now its fine so time to return a part
I am stumped. Mixer would not turn on, disassembled it and pulled the plastic piece that is held to the control board with 4 screws. The mixer works normally without the plastic piece, it goes though all the speeds and shuts off fine. When I put the plastic piece on it will not turn on. I am aware of the little switch that is a single pole shut off that is activated with a ramp like protrusion in the switch part that I have referenced. I verified visually that the little switch is clickkngoff and on when the piece is on but it still will not turn on. Anybody have any ideas about what could be wrong?
Could you help me? I have a KA 550 HD and a component in speed control board explode then I can't identify what is the component to replace. It's MOV1 what is written on board.
@@Armadillo.Rodrigo I've attempted to do it before however I generally don't as the board usually is damaged, i generally just replace the whole Board.
I have one similar to this but how do I know how old it is? The lever that controls the speed only goes up to about half and then any higher I put the lever it just maintains that half speed.
hey there which board, the tilt head model or the pro 600 speed control? I dont replace the individual components, i generally just replace the entire board to ensure proper functionality! we have the phase board for the tilt head on our website mrmixer.store, and the speed boards should be available soon, they are on backorder.
@@MrMixer316 we dont have any replacement here in philippines...my kitchenaid model is professional 5plus model...110volts that accidentally plug in into 220v ....and the yellow color part was burned out...i just wanted to know whats the of that part and the number as will..
@@MrMixer316 well, I got out my electricity detector thing. So I have electricity coming from the black wire in the cord onto the thing you mentioned and then it goes to a white wire that goes into the motor somewhere but I cant get to the motor I don't see any screws to get into the motor part. Also the carbon spring things I have on each side of the mixer are worn so maybe that is also an issue.
Mr. Mixer oh my! I am in desperate need of one ASAP! When you get more can you please comment here so I can purchase. I have a kitchenaid professional 600. One that’s like the one in your video.
If you can wiggle the knob and it works chances are you can fix this really cheap with NO PARTS NEEDED. Most likely there is NOTHING wrong with the speed control board. You have a dirty one. Pivot the speed control board out without disconnecting anything. Remove the 4 screws that attach the plastic cover to the board and CAREFULLY remove the plastic cover. Get a spray can of contact cleaner and spray the hell out of the slider slot and the black microswitch above it. Go to town on them, particularly the switch nub on the bottom of the microswitch. Put the slider to full speed and the knob to full speed and reattach the plastic cover to the board. Check to see it slides freely and clicks like it should. Reassemble the mixer and enjoy its function. The reason these fail is crud gets in the slider and switch. Contact cleaner fixes them both for less than $20 a can! Fixed a free on someone was fed up with in 15 minutes. Lake house mixer for FREE!
Just did this and it worked perfectly! My mixer had been nearly unusable - we had to bang the lid to get it to start. I was about ready to donate it when I found this video. Bought the part from Mr mixer and had it fixed in under 20 minutes. Thank you!!!
I just sprayed electrical parts cleaner in the switch jammed it back-and-forth a few times and now it works
That would/should be the first attempt to fix instead of straight out buying a new board.
Yep, that’s all I had to do as well. Seems to be a common problem that the speed control contact surfaces get dirty. Disassemble, spray slider contact points with contact cleaner and wipe.

It's only on the old ones that have the extra wires running from the cord to the board
I contacted the manufacturer and their only option was to buy a new mixer or have a guy come out to us to fix it, that is 3 hrs away, and a hefty price for me to pay, so I will instead attempt you option.
It's also super easy to send it to us if you need to 😁🥰
I have a Pro Series 6 mixer. The head got really wobbly, so I opened it up to tighten the bolts. I did this once a few months ago, and all was well. I did it again today, and after I was done, it would not turn on. I had forgotten to put in the 2 motor screws, so I did that and it started! I put the top back on and.... Nothing. Everything appears to be connected correctly, I've wiggled and jiggled all connections to no avail. Do you think I need to replace this board? I really don't know what I might have done to cause it to stop working!
It's likely the board
Should this be happening with a brand new one straight out the box ? I’ve literally received my one today with this issue 😢
A brief delay in speed 1 is fine, if it is a really long delay or won't switch speeds then there is issue
Cheers for the reply.
There’s no issue changing the speed between 1 to 5 but it remains the same speed for anything after the 5 setting.
If I go straight to 8 speed from 0, it starts fast but once I go down in speed it sticks at 5 speed rate.
@@d1ppaz sounds like a warranty return and replace!
So does this mean the issue is not with the contact area in the switch? Cleaning those areas won't make a difference?
I had a similar issue with mine and was able to fix it by cleaning the contact area with the switch.
I had the same problem since early on. The switch doesn't seem to work until you slide it back and forth a few times and then its OK.
Next time you come back to the mixer you have to do this all over again.
I have a question sir i hope i will get a reply .. i suddenly plug our kitchen aide pro6 mixer to 220v and the machine itself is 110v i dont know that machine is 110v. In the philippines 220v .. what is most probable damage? Thankyou and godbless
I have a brand new one, but my Mom bought it at an overstock store so I can’t take it back. The switch just slides loosely, you can’t feel the slot for the next gear up. I’ve used it once or twice a week to mix dough for the last month. Is there a spring loose?
Weird, there should be a distinct click for each speed, there isn't a spring but you may have an issue with the speed mechanism. Replacing the board would fix it
I took the switch apart from the cheap plastic plate. Found the even cheaper plastic slide was hooked to the eternal and internal switch by a tiny little (maybe 4mm) wide black plastic piece. That was broke, which is why the external switch slides so freely. It’s not attached to the internal switch anymore. Why anyone make such a vital and much used piece of hardware out of plastic is infuriating.
@@ASouthernLadyinAppalachia you are correct! It is quite infuriating
Just bought a new on on Amazon, sorry, it was only $49 there. I’ll pay a bit more to support small business, but not double.
thank you. is regreasing this machine the same as the others?
We have a detailed video on how to regrease, the disassembly is slightly different
My board had wire terminals reversed. Great tip on the size of the terminals.
Hi, in my board the yellow flat circle part between the mottor and line prongs burnt. I want to buy a replacement board from you, but I want to make sure first that whatever caused it to burn in the first place won't do the same with the new board. Any clues?
I am trying to fix my Professional 600 mixer. A technician replaced my switch control board but it doesn't turn on unless I wiggle it back and forth for several minutes. I opened it up and it has an old style board with a regulator. There is one wire that is not connected at all and there are 2 wires with peach colored connectors attached to the motor 1 and motor 2 tabs. Is it possible that they just replaced the motor one and 2 connectors? although it does have the sautered on wire instead of the clip on wire. Help please !
It sounds as if there is definitely still something going on with the board, the older style had thst little resistor on the outside of the board, it sounds like they likely never replaced the board because the new ones shouldn't have that resistor portion, all the wires should be clipped to the board a total of 4 wires and then the flat ribbon wire that connects to the hall sensor. A new cord probably wouldn't hurt either to eliminate the excess wire
Can i ask what is the details of the mov or metal oxide varistor. Because i already burn 2 of it so maybe i can just replace the mov so its more cheaper.. thank you..
To be transparent, I do not have extensive knowledge on the actual board components itself, we repair based on symptoms presented and usually just replace the entire board! I've attempted to repair the board but i can never get it to function properly!
My mixer spins at high speed no matter what setting it’s on. Will this fix that problem?
It should, it sounds like the hall sensor failed on it. However sometimes its the motor itself, there is a little magnet on the motor shaft that the hall sensor reads and If that breaks off then it will mimick that same symptom
Hi Mr. Mixer, I got a Stand 7.6L lift bowl commercial KSMC895 the RPM suppose to be 60-280, but i find out the RPM only 40 at gear 1, do you now how to fix it please ?
Mine is a 600 professional, i use a lot for bread baking , changed the board and it’s not working still. Don’t know what could be the problem.
Hi, your tutorial was great I appreciate it! I did everything you said when replacing the speed control board and my mixer is still not working. I have a Professional 5 plus. I wasn’t the first owner of this machine as I got it (in non-functional condition) off of Facebook Marketplace. What could I do next?
hermm, how weird, does ther appear to be any damage to the motor? is the fan on the back broken? the only other two options are powercord and motor!
@@MrMixer316 thank you for the response!! No, it doesn’t appear there’s damage to the motor (in my very inexperienced opinion). I’m thinking I either got a faulty replacement chip or it’s the power cord.
@@amandaperry9399 I would test the power cord by plugging it in, turning it on and wiggling the cord all the way up to the base, if it ever kicks on its the cord, if not then it's likely the motor, they rarely go bad but can!
Hi i have the same model. i got this brand new 1.5 years ago. It just stopped in the middle of making a dough. Did you fix your mixer? How do you know if it is motor or control panel failure? Thanks
@@cathyliu7563 you could test it for continuity with a voltage meter, however I'm not an expert in that aspect so I don't know what you'll be expecting but literally 99% of the time it's the speed board or power cord, its rarely the motor
Hi Mr. MIxer. What happen as if my mixer still working but it seems not strong enough to mix the powder? what's wrong with it? what can i do?
Hmmm which model is it?
@@MrMixer316 i think it is 600, 6q bowl, the board is very similar to the one in your video.
Thanks for posting! Do you know if it's still possible to buy the sensor hall? It seems like it was discontinued from KA a while ago and I'm having difficulty finding it.
We have a few used ones, I'm not sure you can find new ones anymore
The new boards come with a new hall sensor built right into it. It is part number WP9706648
My KitchenAid mixer professional plus 600 Hd is not strong enough and shuts off, I used about 3 times, any solutions?.
Your potentially using too much dough? That's a really strong unit however it should be able to handle about anything, could be an issue with the speed control board!
Thanks for answering my cuestión, is what I want to know, I have had another mixer and I had no problems in fact it is new, but since I use it very little and I no longer have the guarantee, when beating either butter or whip cream, when it becomes harder, it is when it becomes slow and the engine shuts down
it pops a breaker when i plug it in, what should i try next?
Did you replace the speed board? Sounds like there is a short somewhere! I would do a full inspection looking for any bare/pinched wires.
Yes I did. Do you think it is the motor? @@MrMixer316
@@freedragonfly it's possible, however it's nearly impossible for me to tell without seeing it first hand!
Mr Mixer, does the Kitchenaid Pro 600 have brushes?
It does but they are built into the motor and not "technically" replaceable. Why do you ask?
Would a US board work on a machine sold in Europe despite the different voltages (sorry if that is a stupid question)? It seems the part is not sold in Europe (at least not to end users), and I wonder if it would work to have the part imported.
This part will not work, but I can order a 220v board for you and ship it to you
Thank you - I will get back to you via the contact on your website once I have confirmed the diagnosis. I am pretty sure that having the part shipped will still be cheaper than a new mixer :-)
The board looks pretty simple, cant you just fix or replace the bad component. That would be a considerable amount cheaper than buying a new one

Looks like that Pro 5 Plus saw a lot of hard use. The top looks a bit beat up!
You'd be surprised how many banged up mixers come through the shop. Lots of lookers too!
@@MrMixer316 Probably a lot of owners aren't concerned with cosmetics. It makes me wonder if the one you were fixing is from a commercial kitchen.
@@cnnw3929 I service a few bakeries and schools so quite possible!
I’d love to find a technician that actually identifies the faulty part on the board so that others could forego investing time into watching board swaps (which is fine if your financially fixed like that) but other thrifty individuals like myself would rather spend a buck and opposed to 50 or more of those said bucks...
Sounds like an opportunity for you to lead the way, Stephen!
I was actually able to fix this same issue on mine. Don’t know if this will work for everyone but I removed the circuit board from the black piece and then removed the slider box from the circuit board (be cautious when removing the slider because the slider is spring loaded with two tiny balls on the ends to lock the slider into one of the many speed positions on the box [diamond shapes on either side of this box]. The box is removed by twisting a couple tabs to clear some slots on the circuit board.
The slider has two copper tabs that spring to make contact with the contacts in the circuit board. On mine, these seemed less “springy” than I expected so I bent them a little more back so they would spring back harder and ensure contact with the circuit board.
Secondly, I used isopropyl alcohol (make sure it’s >90%) and a cotton swab to clean the slider contacts on the circuit board as well as all the other contacts on the circuit board.
After assembling everything back together, the stand mixer now works fine. No guarantees but just wanted to share what worked for me
I replaced the sensor and board on mine. But it still runs at max speed no matter the setting so I don’t know what the problem is
Sounds like the magnet that is supposed to be right under the hall sensor is probably broken off
@@MrMixer316 theres a magnet?
@@carpentrash5520 yes on the motor shaft there should be a magnet that wraps around the shaft right under where the hall sensor sits
@@MrMixer316 oh so thats why, is there any way i can repair it
@@MrMixer316 scratch that, the magnet was just pushed to the front and i didnt need to buy the speed controller or sensor, i moved it back and now its fine so time to return a part
I am stumped. Mixer would not turn on, disassembled it and pulled the plastic piece that is held to the control board with 4 screws. The mixer works normally without the plastic piece, it goes though all the speeds and shuts off fine. When I put the plastic piece on it will not turn on. I am aware of the little switch that is a single pole shut off that is activated with a ramp like protrusion in the switch part that I have referenced. I verified visually that the little switch is clickkngoff and on when the piece is on but it still will not turn on. Anybody have any ideas about what could be wrong?
Could you help me? I have a KA 550 HD and a component in speed control board explode then I can't identify what is the component to replace. It's MOV1 what is written on board.
Are you trying to solder on a new piece?
@@MrMixer316 yes
@@Armadillo.Rodrigo I've attempted to do it before however I generally don't as the board usually is damaged, i generally just replace the whole Board.
I have one similar to this but how do I know how old it is?
The lever that controls the speed only goes up to about half and then any higher I put the lever it just maintains that half speed.
@@WildFlowerMaranda it's likely the board!

What is the of the yellow color part of the circuit?
hey there which board, the tilt head model or the pro 600 speed control? I dont replace the individual components, i generally just replace the entire board to ensure proper functionality! we have the phase board for the tilt head on our website mrmixer.store, and the speed boards should be available soon, they are on backorder.
@@MrMixer316 we dont have any replacement here in philippines...my kitchenaid model is professional 5plus model...110volts that accidentally plug in into 220v ....and the yellow color part was burned out...i just wanted to know whats the of that part and the number as will..
It helps a lot..
I regreased my mixer and now it doesn't work at all. I plug it in and nothing happens no noise it doesn't try and work. 😩
Did you knock wires off of the speed control board or damage that in any way?
@@MrMixer316 well, I got out my electricity detector thing. So I have electricity coming from the black wire in the cord onto the thing you mentioned and then it goes to a white wire that goes into the motor somewhere but I cant get to the motor I don't see any screws to get into the motor part. Also the carbon spring things I have on each side of the mixer are worn so maybe that is also an issue.

If you can wiggle the knob and it works chances are you can fix this really cheap with NO PARTS NEEDED. Most likely there is NOTHING wrong with the speed control board. You have a dirty one. Pivot the speed control board out without disconnecting anything. Remove the 4 screws that attach the plastic cover to the board and CAREFULLY remove the plastic cover. Get a spray can of contact cleaner and spray the hell out of the slider slot and the black microswitch above it. Go to town on them, particularly the switch nub on the bottom of the microswitch. Put the slider to full speed and the knob to full speed and reattach the plastic cover to the board. Check to see it slides freely and clicks like it should. Reassemble the mixer and enjoy its function. The reason these fail is crud gets in the slider and switch. Contact cleaner fixes them both for less than $20 a can! Fixed a free on someone was fed up with in 15 minutes. Lake house mixer for FREE!
